steven.b Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Hello to everybody. I need to fix a pair of rust bits on the driver's side rear arch, does somebody here know a garage in the south west that may be willing to do the job? I say "willing" because I've already tried a couple of them but it seems that nobody here needs to work (I keep being told "I'll call you back..." Many thanks Edited April 22, 2021 by steven.b grammar error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 There are many options depending on the severity of the rust areas, but some may not be cost affective. Fit new 1/4 panel Fit preowned 1/4 panel Fit arch repair section Cut out rusted area and plate as required. All parts are in stock at the minute.

Azurez33 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Exactly what Alex said, but either way treat it sooner rather than later, you got any pictures of the rust currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the photos. It's not very easy to see because of the vinyl wrap but I would like to have it fixed as soon as possible. Honestly I'm not a fan of welded patches, if possible I would rather replace the whole thing and solve the problem for good (I was considering also composite or grp arches as possible options) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven.b Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 In both the points under the wrap there are paint touch-ups that look like being done with the spray bottle, this makes me think that there may be poorly repaired bits coming out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
